‘Modern Warfare 3’ Achievement List Leaked

Perhaps Activision is too focused on the on-going feud with the former Infinity Ward developers to notice leaks these days, but to which leak am I referring? With respect to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, there have been quite a few of them so that’s a fair question.

Xbox 360 Achievements has published the full Modern Warfare 3 achievement list ahead of the game’s planned release. There is no word on where the site got its information, but judging by the list, the information seems pretty legitimate. The achievement list consists of 50 achievements comprising the full 1000 points of gamerscore with one achievement being a secret. Thirty-three of the listed achievements are for the single player campaign alone with the remaining ones being awarded for the Survival and Special Ops modes. If this list is legitimate, we can also expect that the PS3 trophy list will be exactly the same except for the addition of a platinum trophy to the list.

We would caution that there are some story spoilers in the list of achievements, but so many of you have probably read through the spoilers at this point that it seems moot to even issue a warning. The full achievement list along with descriptions is presented below (gamerscore values are in parentheses):

Back in the Fight (5)
Start the Single Player Campaign on any difficulty.

Get Rich or Die Trying (25)
Have $50,000 current balance in a Special Ops Survival game.

I Live (10)
Survive 1 wave in a Special Ops Survival game.

Survivor (20)
Reach Wave 10 in each mission of Special Ops Survival mode.

Unstoppable (40)
Reach Wave 15 in each mission of Special Ops Survival mode.

No Assistance Required (20)
Complete a Special Ops Mission Mode game on Hardened or Veteran with no player getting downed.

Brag Rags (10)
Earn 1 star in Special Ops Mission Mode.

Tactician (20)
Earn 1 star in each mission of Special Ops Mission Mode.

Overachiever (40)
Earn 48 stars in Special Ops Mission Mode.

Secret Achievement (20)
Continue playing to unlock this secret achievement.

So the last secret that this game has to offer is a secret achievement. Maybe its related to multiplayer? Maybe its some campaign specific joke? Whatever it is one thing is for certain, if this happens again Activision should spin the story into some crazy viral marketing campaign where every ‘leak’ is actually a press release.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will release November 8th for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
